I posted a while ago about my vehicle not getting warm enough. Anyway I carried on with a new allmakes thermostat(petrol v8) it was not reaching much more than 75degrees c obviously in summer/ autumn it wasn't really a problem. Went for a 100 mile drive and it was 15-20 miles before the heater really worked and tbh the cab only heated up properly on the journey back. Managed 20 mpg though! I definitely think it 10-15 degrees short. At 50 (due to roadworks on the m6) the engine was definitely not up to temperature due to the wind chill. Anyway the point is don't buy a cheap and nasty stat buy a gates. I've just ordered one for £60 delivered of the bay. Hopefully I'll squeeze a couple more mpg out of the old sow when it's up to proper temperature.
Engine temperature is completely vital in an efi engine to low to high both are equally devastating. The temp gauge was at the bottom of the blue at 50. I don't think it was warm enough to allow the heater fans to work hence the sub zero heaters!
